Somebody once approached Kirk Douglas and said they had enjoyed his performance in Ben-Hur (1959). So he said, `That wasn`t me, that was another fellow.` And the man said, `Well, if you aren`t Burt Lancaster, who the hell are you?`

[Clemence Dane on Fairbanks] The trouble with Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. is that he likes everything he sees - and he sees everything.

I do think I`m lucky I met Michael. Not just Michael Douglas the actor and producer with two Oscars on the shelf, but Michael Douglas, the love of my life. I really do think it was meant to happen.

[On why he passed on Fatal Attraction (1987)] There wasn`t a grain of originality in it - it was Play Misty for Me (1971) with Michael Douglas filling in for Clint Eastwood. Also, the original version, the script I read, had Glenn Close winning in the end...

I always wanted to be an actor, even when I was a little kid. When I used to run away from home, I`d go to movies and sit all night watching Kirk Douglas. When I was 16, I tried getting into the Actors Studio and they told me to get lost. I said `I`ll com...

I`d begun drinking all the time. We shot in New York City, so I`d be out to the bars every night till 3 or 4 a.m., then try to show up for a 6 o`clock call to stand toe to toe with Michael Douglas and handle 50% of a scene. How could that work? Yet there ...
Charlie Sheen
[on Kirk Douglas] We both came from, sort of, well, shall we say, humble beginnings. We were both young, brash, cocky, arrogant. We knew everything, were highly opinionated. We were invincible. Nobody liked us.
Burt Lancaster
Of course, it would be unfair for me to comment. Douglas (Douglas Adams) told me in the strictest confidence exactly why 42. The answer is fascinating, extraordinary and, when you think hard about it, completely obvious. Nonetheless amazing for that. Rema...

My name is Kirk Douglas. You may know me. If you don`t ... Google me. I was a movie star and I`m Michael Douglas` dad, Catherine Zeta-Jones` father-in-law, and the grandparents of their two children. Today I celebrate my 90th birthday. I have a message to...

I`d like to move into the Douglas Fairbanks type of action pictures. I`m no great actor, but my fans like me, so why shouldn`t I give it a whirl?

After interviewer Michael Parkinson commented on his birthname being Michael Douglas: "Yeah, I had to change my name because there were two other actors registered at Equity with that name. One of them is doing quite well from what I understand, the other...
Michael Keaton
[on Kirk Douglas] He fits into being an advertising man and a driving, ruthless person better than Brando could have. You would always suspect Brando. Kirk`s awfully bright. He`s as bright a person as I`ve met in the acting profession.
Elia Kazan
You look at a guy like Lance Armstrong, and you have to be inspired. I sat next to Kirk Douglas the other day, and he`s inspiring for fighting through his stroke.

There were times when I would finish writing a sequence and I would see the face of my very well-mannered, deeply Presbyterian mother staring back at me from my imagination, looking at me with her lips pursed like, `Douglas, what do you think you`re doing...

My clerkship with Justice Douglas was tremendously important. He told me, Christopher, get out into the stream of history and see what happens. I`ve tried to follow that advice.

If Tyson will come down to 200 and train the way he did for Buster Douglas, I`d fight him in a minute. Everybody wants a piece of him now.

After last night`s debate, the reputation of Messieurs Lincoln and Douglas is secure.
